In
late September of 2005 we participated
in a rally in Southampton, NY (yes, THAT
Hampton, with all the "bling bling") for
a charity rally. After the rally we
ended up in our own wine country on the
North Fork of Long Island for a awards
ceremony (free wine and food at http://www.pindar.net).
Well, we
came in next to last out of 80 cars in
the rally - seems that stopping
twice to clear dirt out of the
float needles is not a way win a 2
hour rally. Especially when
some of the Mercedes and
BMW owners were cheating and
using their built-in GPS systems!
BUT, they had a "People's
Choice Award" for the most popular car
and we tied for first place with a
gorgeous '69 Shelby Mustang! We won
a bottle of Pindar wine -
nothing to hang on the wall, but
better than the taste of gasoline in
my mouth from blowing out the needle
valves (I installed an in-line filter
the following weekend). Here's a
picture of us with our "trophy".
